produces more air than most larger models. With less noise. At any time truck. Only drawback was shipping. Packaging was not suitable for the weight of the compressor receive to with damage during shipping on ups.

This unit arrived in perfect condition. Read the instructions, added the oil, installed the air filter assembly, opened the tank valve and cranked it up for a 20 minute no load break in. Worked like a champ.

Bought it to run our BeA staple gun for building our big double wall bumper boxes. Didn't need anything more, or less. Works perfect for what we needed and it's very quiet so we don't upset our retail neighbors.

This is a very quiet unit, easy to use/pick up. have two larger Makita air compressors and have been impressed by well they have worked over the years.This little unit is so much easier to pick up without breaking your back and still packs enough punch to keep up with whatever tool(nail, staple gun) you are working with.Looked at many other (and read many reviews of) small air compressors, but none had the qualifications I was looking for.

I use the compressor for my staple guns in upholstery. My old compressor was so noisy that it nearly drove me crazy. This one keeps the charge for a long time, and once it builds up air again, it is not noisy at all.

I have fired cases of framing nails with this compressor. The only time it might lag is nailing a bunch of subfloor fast and that is no big deal, just wait 10 seconds and go back to it. This is an awesome compressor.

A:

It is suggested to use at least a 6 gallon compressor to operate an nailer.

NO. it does not have enough CFM or capacity to adequately run an impact gun.

A:

Hi, yes, as long as the CFM specifications match up, it will run an impact gun requiring an 80 gallon compressor storage tank, but it will need to run the compressor after only a moment or two of using the impact gun in order to provide it with the amount of air it needs.In other words, you'll need to wait between uses of the impact gun quite frequently.
